I for one love them. As someone who also loves film, I recognize that TR and AR are freaking perfect for this type of work. They've elevated each and every film they work on. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they've come up with.

Wish they weren't attached to a project about that bombing, part. by this director. Didn't like the handling of the manhunt by the police, as it looked like a military takeover more than police activity. Add in the chest thumping jingoism/nationalism that followed & this director's history of similar movies, and I'm not a fan.

I get what you're saying, but in comparison to Before the Flood, it's clear they're not playing favorites politically.

I love Trent's film score work when it doesn't feel like the only thing on Earth that he's releasing. That sure is not the current case, though.

I take a new score over nothing any day. Still, I hope there will be some new NIN, too.

That being said, I really don't know how to feel about Peter Berg. I felt so excited about everything they did with Fincher because Fincher is one of my top 5 directors. Love that guy, love TRAR, it's just perfect. On the other hand I haven't seen anything from Peter Berg that stuck with me. And I don't know how to feel about the whole topic of the movie.

Then again, I didn't know how to feel about The Social Network either, and now even six years later I can't stop praising it.

Nothing raises my expectations like having directed Hancock and Battleship!

I thought Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom were excellent movies. I'm really not basing my opinion of Berg based on Battleship. I think he's better than that. No one has a perfect track record.

But I think the high expectations are more because of the subject story then the fact that it's directed by Berg.

I can't believe TR is going to be involved in Patriots Day. I think whatever waning respect I had for him might have just died.

If this was some indy film, or a dark comedy with a twisted message, I might fight a way to give him an artistic pass. But taking part in Hollywood's commercialization of the Boston Bombing cluster-fuck is fucking wretched.

Maybe I'll cool off eventually, but for now TR is dead to me.

I remember reading comments like this when he agreed to do the score for The Social Network. "What?! He's doing the score for a Facebook movie?! He's dead to me!"

its pretty obvious NIN is dead and buried......Trents new thing is corporate man at apple and doing film scores...he clearly has put movie scores and apple as his number 1 priority. NIN is just some little side project now...it sucks but it is what it is...this is what happens when you move to Hollywood and sell out. The movie scores are never going to stop. Hes going to continue to get offer after offer after offer and he will continue to say yes, yes and yes...NIN is over people. Accept it and move on

If you can't immediately see why the two situations are not comparable, I don't think I'll be able to explain it to you.

No, I think they're very comparable. I can remember people saying that there shouldn't be a film made about Mark Zuckerberg because he was a hack, a thief, an asshole, a this, a that, etc. People will always complain about movies based on real events, especially if they don't fit into their view of what is acceptable subject matter and what's not.
